Chapter 9 Admiration (1)

The little maid's words made me slightly surprised, and I realized the reason why everyone was surprised. However, I didn't think this upper line was so difficult. The lower line could be easily said after just thinking about it in my mind. But I didn't know that it would reveal flaws because of this.

I felt aroused in my heart. Before anyone could speak, I quickly smiled guiltily and said, "Miss, I have really seen this couplet, so I can match it so quickly."

After hearing what I said, the little maid smiled proudly and said, "I knew, if not, how could you meet so quickly? You must know that even our lady thought about this couplet for a day and a night before it came out."

At this time, I didn't want to look for vanity. After a smile, I pretended to be admirable and praised: "Miss is so quick-witted. When I saw this couplet, I asked the best old scholar in the village, and I barely got it right." While speaking, I secretly looked at the woman in green clothes again, feeling a little nervous, afraid that she would not believe me.

The woman in green shirt looked at me thoughtfully. The expression that had appeared on her face had gradually disappeared. She said to me quietly: "Okay, you can stay!" After a slight pause, she asked again: "Well...what is your name?"

"The villain's surname is Zhu, and his name is Shiqi!"

"Subject Zhu?" The woman in green clothes looked at me again and said slowly: "Zhu Shiqi... I didn't expect that your surname was actually the national surname that is today."

"It's not just the surname of the country, but I am also the prince Longsun!" I said in my heart, and quickly responded to the woman humbly, waiting quietly for her order.

The woman in green clothes didn't say anything to me anymore, but turned around and said to the young man beside her: "Xiang Ru, remember to study hard." After that, she took the little maid to the distance.

Looking blankly at the figure of the woman in green clothes gradually fading away, a trace of inexplicable loss suddenly arose in my heart, and I can't tell what it is for...

After this incident, I finally got the recognition of the whole family of Li's mansion and became a member of the Li's mansion. Apart from grinding ink and laying paper for Mr. Li Xiangru every day, the things I had to do were so few that I could do, so life was extremely relaxed.

It took me a while in the Li family that I found out that Mr. Li was the biological brother of the current censor Li Xiaoru, who is the current imperial court censor, and his name was Li Xiaokong. Mr. Li has a son and a daughter. The woman in green clothes is his daughter Li Jiru, and the young master Li Xiangru, who I serve as a scholar, is his only son. Mr. Li is not like his brother Li Xiaoru, and is not keen on fame and fortune. He only likes to read poetry and study, and is more like a hermit in ancient times.

In addition to serving Mr. Li to study, I often go to Mr. Li to borrow books to read. Speaking of which, there are so many books in the master's mansion. Although it cannot be compared with the palace, it is not inferior to the former Prince Yan Mansion. There is another place that makes me feel funny. There is a large plaque hanging in the main hall of the library, with six big words "I don't borrow my wife and books" written on it. It can really show Mr. Li's desire to love books as much as his life. I also noticed that the person who wrote the inscription was Li Xiaoru.

Everything in the Li Mansion is good, the only thing that makes me feel a little...it can't be said to be uncomfortable, that is, the maids in the mansion seem to have a great impression of me, a handsome newbie. Although they don't have eyebrows and eyes when they see me, their eyes are obviously visible, so they make me feel embarrassed.

Since I met the lady of the Li family that day, I have never seen her. According to Sister Yan, who often comes to see me, the lady is not at home on weekdays, but stays in Yuhang's uncle's mansion and studies and embroidery with Miss Li there!

When I heard this news, I was naturally disappointed again, because these days, Li Jiru's elegant figure in green shirt always flashed in my heart, making me feel some unexplained longing. I don't know if this is called unrequited love, but although I occasionally have a moment of infatuation in private, it does not affect my life as a "study boy" on weekdays. Instead, because of my profound knowledge hidden in my belly, the young master Li Xiangru finally gradually discovered that I was not simple, and asked me about some difficulties in reading from time to time, and I could solve his doubts.

On this day, I was really drowsy when I accompanied Li Xiangru to listen to the gentleman explaining the chapters in the Book of Songs in the study. I felt a little drowsy. It was not that I was arrogant. I have always felt that this gentleman was mistaken for his children. His knowledge was really not enough to teach Li Xiangru. I often heard the wrong things from his explanations, but unfortunately, it was not convenient to say it clearly in my identity.

Just as the gentleman was talking again, a man pushed the door outside the study room and walked in. I looked at the man and was shocked. But I saw that the man was Li Jiru, who I had been thinking for a long time.

Today she was wearing a light yellow outer dress, and her face still had a gentle expression as usual. When she entered the door, her beautiful eyes glanced at the room. Although she had stayed on me for a while, she finally turned to Li Xiangru without any nostalgia.

"Sister!" Li Xiangru has been with me these days "very happy". He has revealed to me more than once that he has longed for his sister in his heart, "Why are you back?"

When the gentleman knew that the eldest lady of the Li family was coming, he saw Li Jiru nodding to him again, so he stopped what he said.

Li Jiru walked to Li Xiangru, smiled slightly and said, "Come on, let you have a day of leisure today. I came back with Ziru's cousin and Yueru's cousin."

"Really?" Li Xiangru seemed extremely happy when he heard Li Jiru's words, "Cousin, is my cousin here too?"

I only heard from Yan Jie'er that Li Xiaoru has such a daughter, probably the "Cousin Yueru" mentioned by Li Jiru at this time, and I didn't know who the other "Cousin Ziru" was before... Now it seems that he should be Li Xiaoru's son.

"Seventeen, let's go, I'll take you to meet my cousin and sister. They are all very knowledgeable people." When Li Xiangru followed Li Jiru out the door, he did not forget to say something to me. I naturally felt happy to see it together when I heard this.

When I walked into the welcoming hall, Master Li Xiaokong was already sitting upright in the main seat in the middle. In his lower head, four people were sitting with me, not only Li Jiru mentioned.

I followed Li Xiangru and as soon as I entered the hall, I looked at the four strange faces. I saw that the first one was wearing a dark gray robe. His face looked a bit like Li Xiaokong, and he looked righteous. When he saw his appearance, he felt that he was the kind of upright person.

Next to him, a woman of similar age as Li Jiru, also looks similar to Li Jiru, but her facial features are not as beautiful as Li Jiru, and slightly inferior. She is the only woman among the four. I don’t have to guess that she is “My Cousin Yueru”. At the same time, because of this, I also guessed his identity as the man before, and he should be “Cousin Ziru”.

The other two were dressed as Confucian scholars. One of them had a very handsome face and was thin. The most special thing was that his skin was fair and as fair as a woman. With his figure, he felt less masculine and more like a delicate woman.

The other man had a strong face. The Guozi face had a straight facial features and a clear outline. At a glance, he couldn't help but make people shout Cai'er: "What a seven-foot man!"

Seeing Li Jiru, Li Xiangru and I walked into the hall, the people in the hall did not waste much attention on me, a person wearing servant costume. "Cousin Ziru" and "Cousin Yueru" stood up together and smiled at Li Xiangru, "I haven't seen each other for only two years, and my cousin Xiangru has grown a lot taller again..."

When my relatives met again after a long time, they immediately said a polite word. I listened quietly from the side, which of course proved that my previous guess was good. The man and the woman were Li Xiaoru's son Li Ziru and daughter Li Yueru.

After the polite words were finished, everyone took their seats again. Li Ziru introduced the two strange men to Li Xiangru. It turned out that the man who lacked masculinity was named Zhao Yunshan, and the other was named Liu Ziliang. Both of them were friends Li Ziru met at Yingtian Academy.

Speaking of which, Yingtian Academy is one of the four major academies in Dawu. It is only because it is located in Yingtian, the capital of Dawu, and is unique. In recent years, it has vaguely surpassed the three academies of Yuelu, Songyang and Bailu Cave, which are as famous as it, and has become the largest academies.

When I heard that Li Ziru, Liu Ziliang, and Zhao Yunshan were all students of Yingtian Academy, I immediately knew that their talents must be much higher than ordinary people, because I had heard that Yingtian Academy was extremely strict in enrollment. If ordinary students do not have certain qualifications and talents, the academy would never be recruited. Therefore, being able to study in Yingtian Academy means getting a recognition from Qingliu, which is something that ordinary people want to get even in their dreams.

"Uncle, the people from Wushu Mountain will give lectures at our Yingtian Academy. This is a rare event. If my uncle agrees, it is better to let Xiang Ru's cousin follow us to Yingtian to get a tour, so as to increase his knowledge." As everyone said, Li Ziru suddenly said to Li Xiaokong.

Li Xiaokong was stunned when he heard this and asked anxiously: "Is there such a thing? The Wushu Mountain people you mentioned are Liu Daocun, who is called the 'The Commander of Wenchang and the Majesty of the Staff'?"

Before Li Ziru could answer, Liu Ziliang, who was standing by, interrupted and replied: "My master is right. This time, it is Mr. Liu Daocun who is going to give lectures at our Yingtian College. Alas, he is now 80 years old. He never thought that in order for us juniors to understand the way of poetry and prose, he can still give lectures. This is really an example among our scholars and Qingliu!"

Obviously, Liu Ziliang's words were exactly the same as Li Xiaokong's wishes. He nodded in agreement after hearing this and said, "I remember that my brother's mentor, the prince's tutor Song Jinglian, was the prince's tutor of the dynasty. When he was young, he learned from Duke Liu Daocun. At that time, Master Song told us that although Duke Liu Daocun was only a fifth rank and his salary was only a thousand stones, he was really the first person to write poems and essays today."

I know that the Song Jinglian mentioned by Li Xiaokong is my teacher Song Lian, and that Liu Daocun is the great writer Liu Guan, a famous scholar in the world. Several famous literati and Confucian scholars in the world have learned from him. I have also read his poems and essays. They are indeed of ancient and elegant and meaningful characteristics, which make people read them a hundred times without getting tired of them.

It's already past midnight. I went out yesterday and didn't leave time to write. In order to fulfill my promise of 8,000 yuan a day, I will post another chapter now. Then I will post another 8,000 words from mine tomorrow!

In addition, when I replied to the king Yushu Linfeng, I said it was a false statement, just to continue the background of Mingchu, but I could also follow my false statement, so I can answer you, no! You don’t have to worry! Thanks for your support!

Go back to Sleeping Snow 0932, there are some conspiracies, but I don’t want to do too much. After all, yy books are for fun. It’s not good to watch conspiracies. It’s not good to watch conspiracies. Also, I’m not very good at them, just because I’m afraid I’ll make a mistake and make people feel that the conspiracy in the book is like a child playing house.

Back to the second-level skeleton (maybe many readers want to know), For me, I feel that I am a good writer and a fine product in my heart, but there is no publishing house to ask for both at this stage. Why? Because I am a erotic article, there are many people who know about it, and Ask the Tao is pure martial arts, so forget it, I won’t write it for the time being. I write about looking for flowers and asking the willows. If compared, my writing skills may have declined, but in fact, it cannot be compared. Looking for flowers and asking the willows is so fast that I can fight in about four hours.

10,000 words came out, and the question and desire may only be coded in one or two thousand words in a day. Quality and speed cannot be inversely proportional to me. I am also a half-professional author. After all, it takes time to gain something, so I decided to write about the search for flowers and willows first. Although it is a yy book, it is fast, which meets the theme of reading and entertainment now. Moreover, with my writing style, even if the things written at this speed are still more quality than many of the current articles. This is my mood. Please understand!

When it comes to readers of Dongfang, I feel very guilty and unhappy. Dongfang’s current ending is not what I want. After all, it is too hasty, but the reality is cruel. Although Dongfang is not as popular as a pujie in Taiwan, the situation is getting worse and worse. In order to avoid losing to the publishing house, I have to end under pressure. There is nothing I can do about this! Isn’t it easier to win under the commodity economy?
